Yes indeed John. But, of course, there are still session-sets to be released.

I doubt I'll be around to see them all.

I don't know why FTD have ignored these tracks.

They got a classic in there.

I just received the set late last week but have not yet had time to dive into it. Just wish the outer packing of was a bit stronger. My set came with dents caused by shipping internationally. I don't blame my Elvis dealer for this -- I blame FTD. A little thicker cardboard would work wonders ...

Over 20 years ago I started putting together a list of things to listen out for, which included most, if not all, mentioned above. It was called Things to Listen Out For and published on an Elvis website hosted by a guy called Narek (anyone remember him?).

I could live without the instrumental tracks, though…I always skip them on any releases.

but Elvis might be playing tuba, or flugelhorn on one of them.

The most famous and widely available recording of this show was made by John Herman. The superfan (who knew Elvis personally!) set everything in motion, and used his connections, to somehow record the show over the mixing desk, but wasn't given permission to do so. He was, however, allowed ...

There's a soundtrack album on the way...

I notice that a lot of the tracks are labelled "EPiC version" - does this mean they're all EDITED??!!! 😲😲😲😲😲


or overdubbed, the same as those for the Elvis soundtrack a few ...

I received an Easter card from "Elvis" in the 60s. I eventually gave it to a girl I worked with in the late 60s, maybe early 70s, along with lots of other Elvis memorabilia. Funny enough I bumped into her 5-6 years ago, and she told me she still has it all.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this set while wrapping Christmas presents.

The packaging of the cd's is not that nice as previous boxsets.
See example Jailhouse Rock / G.I.Blues
Looks cheap.

I think it's better. The CDs are better protected and slide out easily against the plastic backing.


As long as they are the new ...

“The release date for ‘me’ is when I receive the goods.”

How about buying a record later on which is still a few years on the market. What's your "release date" now?

Good news as more UK collector fans should be getting their copies in the next few days as Elvis Shop London have started dispatching copies but not sure about NDT yet. Fingers crossed for all those who would like this release for Christmas.


and....mine has arrived. The packaging amounts to a ...

Anybody with really low numbers like this, bought their copy directly from either Ernst, Pål or David. It's definitely something to show off and brag about, if that's the kind of thing you like to do.
Merely showing my copy. I’m not the bragging sort. Have an enjoyable rest of your week ...

The release date for me is when the postman knocks on the door with the pre-ordered goods.


Even though many others already had their sets delivered to them?

Well what is your interpretation of an actual FTD “release date”.
